I was surfing the web looking for reliable Housing Statistics and came across this in depth, wealth of information from none other than HARVARD UNIVERSITY!
"The state of the Nations Housing 2009" can be located at:
http://www.jchs.harvard.edu/son/index.htm
This 44 page report is very informative to say the very least.
Call me a nerd, but I am going to print this and read every word of it!
I was especially tickled when I saw this study has gone on for 50 years, from 1959- 2009 thus far...just like me!
It is my whole lifetime of housing statistics!
Now beg my pardon if you already knew about this, but for me it was once of those: "You learn something new everyday" experiences.
The " Joint Center for Housing Studies" website offers several options for downloading and printing their housing statistics. I am pretty jazzed about this :) !
This really got me thinking about how little I know, how much there is to learn, and how I need to always be looking for new information, staying educated, reading, and becoming more knowledgeable in my field every day.
I will re-visit this every year, and have a copy on hand. I think it is very well presented, and my inner nerd is elated!

BethAnn - The info is a bit dated as it was published in June 2009, but the historical data are fascinating. I am very interested in understanding the history of the housing market. I'm going to reblog this and try to find time to read the report.
Gail- true but I wanted to steer people where they can find ity each year when it is updated!
Thanks for the re-blog!
